About Melissa

Howdy fellow handies! So to get this little blog up and running I’m going to do a quick rundown of me. I’ve got a great draft going, but it has yet to be completed. Until I can get that done I wanted to give you a general idea of the girl behind the handy.

I’m a fairly new wife. I’ve been married for almost two years.

I’m a canine “mom” to two German Wirehaired Pointers that have the best personalities and I love more than I thought I could love a dog.

I’m a sister to two younger brothers (Even though I still call them my “little” brothers they are definitely NOT little anymore!).

I’m a daughter to an amazing cook (maybe I’ll share some of his recipes here) and guardian angel who looks over me daily.

She was one of my best friends and I can’t believe she’s been gone almost 6 years, but as you will see, she greatly impacted my eventual interest in a DIY-ish blog.

I’m a coffee-holic. I. Love. Coffee. I’ve often told people if coffee were water I’d be the healthiest person on this planet. (Water-holic?…not so much.) I do try to eat healthy and use as many natural/DIY stuff as I can. Maybe I secretly hope that will make up for my lack of water consumption.

I’ve always loved cleaning and organizing. I think I’m fairly handy. My friends are always asking me for help to fix things, put things together, or arrange decorations or furniture in their houses. I guess I just have “an eye” for that sort of thing and I hope to put it to use in this handy little blog.
